Must have missed something here...

Are you referring to the periodic problem where "Networking Enabled" is
unchecked on resume?  If so, that's covered by a pm-utils bug already,
which is really a dbus bug that can be worked around in pm-utils.

If you're referring in general to "why does NM bring down the network"
on suspend, there are a few reasons for that which I can elaborate on.
